Hi Bela: I would definitely say so. I am also a musician and play in a band...practice twice a week and usually playing at least one gig on the weekends. It is definitely my means of unwinding. I have actually had some of my students and other faculty come and watch from time to time and even played a concert last Christmas at the one local campus...that really changed some minds and helped reduce some of the angst on all sides.

I also play music, I have not been in a band in a while but when you are playing nothing else seems to matter, even just listining. Everything else is gone for that time, all you care about is the music you love.
